However, that’s where the positives end. The G5 continues to feature fairly limited input options, terrible build quality, and some major flaws in performance when it comes to competitive titles. Smearing, ghosting, and haloing are all visible at some stage when playing games, reducing the overall immersion the panel offers.

Looking at the physical gamut graph, you’re able to see where the Samsung G5 gamut falls short in the three respective spectrums. Overall, while the colors aren’t terrible, they’re not exactly spectacular either – but that’s to be expected from a monitor of this price point. Maximum And Minimum Brightness The Samsung Odyssey G5 (LG32AG550) is the latest refresh of the brand’s budget-tailored G5 from 2020. The new variant features a similarly impressive 1000R VA panel that delivers OK colors and stunning immersion. More impressive, however, is the new 165Hz refresh rate, slightly tweaked feature list, and increased brightness. That said, when considering the price (and some of the competing alternatives), it’s hard to be too harsh on the Samsung Odyssey G5. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly curved gaming monitor, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.While the G5 doesn’t offer a great deal in terms of inputs, it still brings enough functionality for several devices. Users can expect 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x USB 3.0, and a 3.5 mm audio input. All inputs can be found at the rear of the panel, alongside VESA mounting holes and a thin grill for general panel cooling. Build Quality

The bottom bezel is very similar in shape to the Odyssey G7, however, the G5 doesn’t offer the same triangular RGB zones. The wide V-shaped stand is fairly simple but does offer a cable management solution – something we’ll touch upon shortly. The rear of the monitor has been equipped with a textured striped finish that is fairly unique. The Samsung Odyssey LS32AG550 is the latest refresh of the hugely popular G5. The new version of the 2020 G5 features a similarly impressive VA panel and 1000R curved 32 inch display. However, with a faster refresh rate, higher peak brightness, and a tonne of additional gaming-tailored features, there’s plenty to like about this new refresh.

Aesthetics Samsung may change the service or suspend and/or cease providing all or parts of the Service at any time and in its sole discretion without prior warning or notice. Users will also be able to fully adjust the color of the monitor, with options for RGB tweaking, brightness, contrast, and sharpness available. On a more positive note, the monitor itself does actually feel quite sturdy. During the testing process, I didn’t experience any major creaks or flexibility. The panel also features a matte anti-glare coating that is much more resistant than glass. The major seams of the monitor look to be well finished with no gaps for particle matter to build up. Furthermore, all buttons and inputs feel purposeful – something that often isn’t the case with lower-priced monitors.

So, there you have it, our comprehensive review of the Samsung Odyssey G5 (LS32AG550) – the latest refresh of their hugely popular G5. The only question left to answer is, does this monitor showcase good value for money? And it’s hard to say no. As you’d expect from an entry-level monitor, the G5 doesn’t feature the best build quality on the market. For a start, the G5 is made almost entirely from plastic – giving the display a fairly flimsy feel that is riddled with wobble. The stand fixes into the main body of the monitor but doesn’t feel robust in the slightest. That said, the bottom bezel does display some Samsung branding and triangular design features.

Many modern displays utilize this particular coating, offering excellent light and reflection mitigation. That being said, due to the curved nature of the display, fingerprints can be quite problematic. We wasted no time and decided to calibrate the monitor to see just how accurate we could make it. For the best accuracy, we used the following RGB values 45/45/50.

While this isn’t everyone’s cup of hot brown, it is a competitive title with fast-moving images – meaning we should get an excellent idea of the G5’s responsiveness. Ultimately, the visual experience in both games and every content was OK. It wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t terrible either. That being said, if you’re looking for the best visual experience possible, you’ll probably want to opt for a IPS alternative. That said, as far as VA panels go, you can’t argue with the G5 too much – especially at this price point.
